The nunnery of Drübeck is mentioned for the first time in a document dated 26 January 877. However, this was exposed as a forgery. So a deed by King Otto I dated 10 September 960 is seen as the first scientifically confirmed record of the Drubechi abbey. In 995, Emperor Otto III confirmed the election of free abbesses (Äbtissinnenwahl) and thus the special legal position of the nunnery. That meant that during the 10th century the foundation enjoyed privileges like those of the imperial abbeys (Reichsabteien) in Gandersheim and Quedlinburg.

  • The nunnery of Drübeck is mentioned for the first time in a document dated 26 January 877. However, this was exposed as a forgery. So a deed by King Otto I dated 10 September 960 is seen as the first scientifically confirmed record of the Drubechi abbey. In 995, Emperor Otto III confirmed the election of free abbesses (Äbtissinnenwahl) and thus the special legal position of the nunnery. That meant that during the 10th century the foundation enjoyed privileges like those of the imperial abbeys (Reichsabteien) in Gandersheim and Quedlinburg. During the turmoil of the Reformation, the Peasants' War and the Thirty Years War monastic life died out. At the end of the 17th century the monastery buildings were transferred to the Counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode, who established an evangelical convent here in 1732. At the request of the last abbess, Magdalena, Countess of Stolberg-Wernigerode, the Evangelical Church Province of Saxony took over the abbey in 1946 as a convalescent home and conference centre.
